Two cables of one strip end close to each other, and their boxes are
wider than the room between the two cables: a long Installation is
enough for that, and the two boxes ended up written the one over the
other -- a picture nobody can read, and no way to tell which box
belongs to which cable.
The boxes of a strip are now all measured before any of them is drawn,
and placed from the left to the right: a box which would reach into one
already placed is set just low enough to stand clear of it, its stub
drawn longer. Nothing is cut down to fit -- the text keeps its font and
the box keeps its width, it is the box which moves.
The strip reserves the room for the lower box too, with the same rule
and the very cells the drawing works on (Helpers::cableBoxesExtraDepth
(), both styles now build one list of cells for the painting and for
the reserved depth), so a lower box is never cut off by the drawing
area.
tst_cabletarget paints a strip with one cable ending on a target and
the same strip with a second cable ending on one: the second picture
draws a whole box lower, and the strip is deeper by exactly the room
that lower box needs.
The strip seen from above drew no cable at all: it had no zone for one
and no code to draw it, so a strip drawn realistically told nothing
about where its cables go while the same strip drawn schematically did.
The drawing itself was already shared between nothing -- it lived in
one style only, so it is now Helpers::drawCables() with its cells, and
both styles hand it the terminals they show. The realistic style
collects one wire exit per level spread over the width of the terminal
body, all of them leaving the strip at its bottom edge, and reserves
the zone under the strip for them as soon as one terminal carries a
cable, exactly like the schematic style does.
tst_cabletarget checks the realistic style paints under the body of
the strip when a terminal carries a cable, and drops that zone when it
does not.
The realistic styles drew every terminal of a strip with the clamp of the
layout (RealisticScrew or RealisticPushIn), whatever terminal was chosen:
a Phoenix Contact ST (spring) was drawn with screws in a screw layout.
Each entry of the terminal catalog now has its clamp: screw (Phoenix
Contact UT, Weidmüller WDU, ABB Entrelec M, Legrand Viking 3), spring
(Phoenix Contact ST) or push-in (WAGO TOPJOB S). A terminal chosen in the
catalog is drawn with its own clamp, the spring-cage ones like the push-in
ones; the clamp of the layout is kept for the other terminals, so a strip
mixing screw and spring terminals is drawn as it is.
In the realistic styles, some types of terminal get the parts seen on
the real products:
- fuse terminal: black hinged fuse holder on the middle of the terminal,
with its hinge pin, a window on the fuse, a ribbed grip and, for a
fuse terminal with led, a red led
- sectional (disconnect) terminal: orange knife with its hinge and grip
- test terminal: two brass test sockets between the wire entries and
the middle band (in the middle band for a terminal with levels)
The marker tag and the type symbol are drawn on the lever. The lever is
shorter with screw clamps and stays on the middle band for a terminal
with levels.
The realistic styles don't write the xrefs, so each terminal becomes a
clickable zone, like the xref text of the schematic style:
- double-click on a terminal goes to its element on the folio
- the terminal under the mouse is outlined in blue, and a tool tip
shows its label and its xref
- the zones are exported as clickable links in the PDF
A terminal with one level is clickable on its whole body; a terminal
with levels is clickable on the rows of wire entries of each level.
Only the terminals with an xref (element placed on a folio) are
clickable. The zones use the same physical / real indexes as the
schematic style, so the double-click and the PDF export need no
other change.
Add two realistic drawing styles for the terminal strip plan, besides
the existing schematic one:
- Realistic (push-in) and Realistic (screw): the strip seen from above,
at scale (real width of each terminal), like a cabinet mounting
drawing: end stops, group marker carrier with the strip name, one row
of wire entries per level, bridge channels with red bridges, marker
tags with the terminal number, type symbol (fuse, LED, diode,
sectional, ground...), green/yellow PE and terminal color.
The style is chosen for each plan in the "Add terminal strip plan"
dialog and saved with the item (attribute draw_style of
terminal_strip_item). Items saved before keep the schematic style.
Several plans of the same strip can use different styles.
The values used by the realistic styles are in the layout (scale in
px/mm, terminal length in mm, end stops, group marker) and can be set
in the layout editor, whose style combo box only changes the preview.
Separator plates: a new "Separator plate after" check box column in
the terminal strip editor, stored in the terminal element informations
(key terminal_separator). Drawn as a plate at scale in the realistic
styles and as a thick line in the schematic style.
New files: realisticterminalstripdrawer.{h,cpp} (realistic drawing) and
terminalstripdrawerhelpers.h (helpers shared with the schematic drawer).
